[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bike lanes on Arizona Avenue seem purely punitive on Virginia drivers.  My fellow DC neighbors hate them because they’ve pushed traffic into the neighborhoods.   The Connecticut Ave residents were smart to fight that proposal.  [/quote]

Punitive for Virginia drivers?

Arizona Ave is a residential street. The elected neighborhood commission voted to support the bike lanes unanimously.

DC transportation policy should prioritize the safety of local residents, not the convenience of suburban commuters.[/quote]

Well, my DC street has been one demonstrably less safe every weekday between 4pm and 6pm.  So, nice job. [/quote]

Which street is that?

In any case, the installation of the bike lanes didn’t change the carrying capacity of the road at all. Demonstrably. And I believe that has been pointed out to you and/or your neighbors.

The increase in traffic volumes and diversions is explained by RTO mandates and the state of the GW Parkway.

But I guess pushing a false narrative so that you can stick it to the families who want to be able to ride around their neighborhood safely is more fun for you than trying to understand what is really going on.

Yeah, we’re gonna put you in the “mostly peaceful protest” view of reality.  [/quote]

Of course. It’s much easier for you to sling silly insults than engage the facts.[/quote]
